Answer:

Power, P =9800 W

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the elevator, m = 500kg

It is raised to a height of 20 m in 10 seconds

Power is defined as the work done per unit time.

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

Work done is given by :

$W=mgh$

h is the height

So, $P=\dfrac{mgh}{t}$

$P=\dfrac{500\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 20\ m}{10\ s}$

P = 9800 Watts

Hence, the power of the motor is 9800 W. The correct option is (b).

artcher [175]

Answer:

1.71 km

Explanation:

Convert 30 minutes to seconds:

30 min × (60 s / min) = 1800 s

Find the displacement:

0.95 m/s × 1800 s = 1710 m

Convert to kilometers:

1710 m × (1 km / 1000 m) = 1.71 km

220V is applied to two different conductors made of the same material. One conductor is twice as long and twice as thick as the

ollegr [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

For calculating resistance of a conductor , the formula is

R = ρ l / A , ρ is specific resistance , l is length and A is cross sectional area of wire.

For first wire length is l₁ , area is A₁ resistance is R₁, for second resistance is R₂ , length is l₂ and area is A₂

Given , l₁ = 2l₂ , A₁ = 4A₂ , area is proportional to square of thickness.

R₁ / R₂ = I₁A₂ / I₂A₁

= 2l₂ x A₁ / 4 I₂A₁

= 1 / 2

2R₁ = R₂

Power = V² / R

Ratio of power = (V² / R₁) x (R₂ / V²)

= R₂ / R₁

= 2 .

A farsighted boy has a near point at 2.3 m and requires eyeglasses to correct his vision. Corrective lenses are available in inc

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

P = 3.5 D

Explanation:

As we know that convex lens is to be used to make the near point of eye to be correct

So we will have

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}$

here we have

$d_i = 2.3 m = 230 cm$

$d_o = 25 cm$

now plug in all values into the formula

$-\frac{1}{230} + \frac{1}{25} = \frac{1}{f}$

$f = 28 cm$

now for power of lens

$P = \frac{1}{f}$

$P = \frac{1}{0.28} = 3.5 D$

so the power in dioptre is

P = 3.5 D
